Openboard is my go-to as well. I like how customizable it is as well. I need bigger keys otherwise i fat finger everything lol.

So helpful, I've been trying to find a replacement for gboard for so long that has the gliding functionality, plus clipboard and easily accessible microphone for speach to text typing (using Futo).

Can finally really consider replacing Gboard for good.

Than you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Oh neat, I had no idea someone was upgrading Openboard. I thought it was abandoned.

Do you know where we can get the apk?

I also use AnySoftKeyboard (installed from F-Droid, BTW) but IMO it kinda sucks. In particular, it often tries to autocorrect things to capitalized proper nouns, which is almost always exactly the wrong thing to do.

Frankly, I'm reading this thread in hopes of finding something else to replace it.

Does it have a predictive function? Based on what?

Make sure to click the voice to text icon (and maybe enable in settings?) before disabling network permissions. It will download the model and do voice to text off line. It works alarmingly well.

No update in over a year. Is the project still maintained?

Does it have the option to have a separate number row? I didn't see it in the preview images.

Nevermind, I'm blind.

Added number row support to more languages

I tried thumb key and it just took too much effort to get used to. Not to mention it basically requires using one thumb instead of two, so it's possibly slower.

I haven't installed something outside of it for ages. I used the foxy client for a long time, and recently droid-ify

There are good and save keyboards in F-Droid, but, well, the problem is Android itself. F-Droid is essential to obtain apps which respect privacy, but this only patch some holes when Google itself control the entire OS.

Mobile phones and privacy is an oximoron, because of this, I never use my phone for important data.

• Review apps on Exodus Privacy
• Desactivate GPS/Localisation service, at least if you dont use it
• Review permissions of all installed apps and set them to desactivate after use in the app settings
• Disconnect WiFi when you go offline
• Don't use public WiFi, at least without VPN, even if it is only a free one (eg. like Calyx, FOSS, trustworthy, no account, encrypted, without datalimit, but only 1 server from the Calyx institute, anyway save enough for an occasional use, Techradar review).
• Common sense (the user is the biggest privacy hole)
